Have a wonderful and relaxing Sunday, everyone 😊 Cheers, Henry 5740/1G

Calatravas with date functions are not very popular with purist Patek collectors, but perhaps because of their smaller size, I like these (neo)vintage models.

These are all WG models. From left to right, they are 3998g, 3445g, 3558g, and 3514g. Only the 3998 is hand-wound, while the other three models are equipped with the famous automatic movement 27-460. 3998g equipped with the manual-winding movement 310SC.

I got the Calatrava 2551g and paired it with the R. This model is the successor to the 2526 and is equipped with the excellent automatic movement 12-600.

The G and R models have different designs for their index and small second. The bracelet model is a bit unusual. 2551G is produced in small quantities This R also has a unique and sturdy bracelet.

It’s always a pleasure to read an article written by Jack Foster, particularly on Saturday morning.

The 5098 has a personality all its own.

Interestingly enough, this is one of my watches that gets the most compliments and conversation starters, mostly from non-watch people. It has a great presence and personality without being flashy.

5196 vs 5107 vs 5117..

Hi, I'm trying to decide between the above. I am unable to see them side by side; any feedback would be appreciated. Also, due to Patek's white gold being rhodium plated and the need to re-plate after X amount of years, would this stop you from buying a w

7140R minute hand backlash

Hi, my new 7140R seems to be exhibiting backlash on the minute hand. The amount varies across dial, but max 20-30s or so (half a minute marker). Is there a temporary workaround or does it need to go back to servicing center. Thoughts?
